THE REGENCY AUCTION <strong>29</strong><br />
LOT 369<br />
$20 1889-CC PCGS AU58 CAC<br />
There is something extremely<br />
romantic about Carson City double<br />
eagles; big gold coins that have the<br />
aura of the wild west and the myths<br />
of bandits, bank robberies, stage<br />
coach chases, and the like.<br />
This eye appealing AU58, combines<br />
that romance with a numismatic<br />
quality that will entice any collector.<br />
Nice underlying luster has nearly<br />
full rolling cartwheels on both sides.<br />
There is just the slightest touch of<br />
friction on the highest points of the<br />
well struck devices. There are a few<br />
minor contact marks, common enough on such a large gold coin. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade.<br />
PCGS 123, NGC 238, CAC 25. The last PCGS/CAC coin sold in auction for $9,900 in February 2018. Prior to that, an NGC/CAC<br />
coin sold for $12,925 in April 2017. The current PCGS value is listed at $10,500 and this coin will see fierce bidding when it crosses<br />
the block!<br />
PCGS# 9011 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+<br />
LOT 370<br />
$20 1892-CC PCGS XF40 CAC<br />
Here is another “common” Carson City $20, that is not as<br />
common as the populations might have you think. This date and<br />
grade is very rare with CAC endorsement, there are only TWO<br />
on their population report.<br />
The surfaces show light to moderate wear and a very pleasing<br />
orange-olive tone on the surfaces. The eye appeal is great and<br />
totally original!<br />
PCGS 62, NGC 40, CAC 2. NONE have ever sold in auction.<br />
The current PCGS value is listed at $3,650 and this coin, with its<br />
exceptionally high end eye appeal should bring close to that!<br />
PCGS# 9020 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+<br />
LOT 371<br />
$20 1893-CC PCGS AU55<br />
Here is a sharply struck, lustrous example of the final double<br />
eagle issue coined at this popular western mint. All the romance<br />
of the wild west that is associated with the Carson City mint<br />
makes any coin from this mint popular with collectors, and the<br />
large double eagles particularly so. This AU55 has a wonderful<br />
look with deep orange-gold color, vibrant luster and just a hint<br />
of friction that we see in the fields and on the high points. There<br />
are some minor friction lines which we note, but this coin is<br />
certainly not hacked up or conserved as normally seen.<br />
PCGS 75, NGC 75. The current PCGS Price Guide value is<br />
listed at $7,500. While the most recent example brought only<br />
$4,800 sold in July 2017 for $5,875 and one sold in January<br />
2017 for $6,463. This is a very popular issue and the presently<br />
offered coin is worthy of any gold coin collection.<br />
